Do you have anything to aim them at or should we all start running?

Matblack · 21-06-2008, 20:50

No need to worry I don't even shoot field ranges, so I'm not interested in live targets, I shoot on a range like this

Me was being silly - just for once, although its still glad to hear that your not interested in hitting "live" targets.

I'd probably miss you anyway

, unless you stood very still at 50yrds or waited for me to get some sight marks

The bottom image, is that the sights?

I've never shot a "proper" (read: expensive) bow!

Yes its the 'sight'

. A bow doesn't really have a set of sights just the front sight, the back sight is effectively whats called your anchor, thats the place on your face where you bring the string back to, as long as this remains consistant then moving the front sight is enough to adjust the aim of the unit

There is very little difference between an inexpensive recurve (training) bow and an expensive one, the unit is just better produced and hence more accurate and you can fit sights like you can see there.

No practicing in the house now... or the garden for that matter

Always thought archery looked like a really fun and interesting sport.

About £450 including this

and a few other bits and bobs, pretty much everything needed to shoot for that price

Sounds like a lot but once you have it then shooting costs almost nothing apart from club fees (~£70pa)
